Iron Dynasty

In the governor's mansion, the atmosphere became warmer. ?August 1 Chinese ≤

Everyone’s face was full of smiles. Those who won the title exchanged their eyes with joy, and those who received the title were filled with expectation.

Xiao Ming's eyes swept across everyone's faces.

For him, this title is just a name, but it is of great significance to these generals of civilian origin. After all, the title symbolizes honor, while silver and Yongyetian symbolize wealth.

The wealth he bestowed on these generals was enough to make them worry-free and make it more difficult for them to be bought by the enemy.

For him, he won't lose much. Now the six states have fewer people and more land. The cultivated land given to them can also promote agricultural production.

After awarding the generals, Xiao Ming turned to Pang Yukun and said, "Pang Changshi, you have been with this king for the longest time. It is Xiao He of this king. You take care of all the logistics and government affairs. Now this king also bestows it on your county uncle. Knighthood."

"Your Highness, this..." Pang Yukun was taken aback.

He never included himself when discussing the knighthood. He didn't expect that Xiao Ming was thinking of him in his heart, and for a while he was a little at a loss.

To be honest, he was very envious of Niu Ben and the others, but from the overall situation, he was not jealous.

Now Xiao Ming said this suddenly, making him feel complicated for a while.

"You don't have to refuse, this king owes you, and your contribution to Qingzhou is no less than that of the generals."

Hearing that, Niu Ben and the other generals nodded. They still respect Pang Yukun from the bottom of their hearts, and Pang Yukun is a clean and honest person, and receiving a reward at this time can improve his life.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Pang Yukun choked.

Recalling the days after arriving in Qingzhou, he was deeply moved for a while, and he believed that the bright road of Qingzhou was waiting for them.

He patted Pang Yukun on the shoulder, and then Xiao Ming looked at Zhan Xingchang and said, "Zhan Xingchang, you don't think the county head is low."

"His Royal Highness, Lieutenant Lu Fei is just the county head, and he is already grateful to get this title." Zhan Xingchang smiled.

He knew that his qualifications were still relatively low, and if he was titled too high, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others.

Niu Ben and Pang Yukun are the right arms of King Qi. This is recognized and there is nothing to be jealous of.

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard the words, and then he awarded some officials to Chen Wenlong.

In the end, he looked at Li Kaiyuan and two businessmen.

This time, he also included the merchants in the list of awards. The reason is no other reason. It was just to attract the wealthy businessmen of the country to settle in Qingzhou and transfer their industries to Qingzhou.

Although Xiao Ming has its own industrial system, Da Yu also has traditional handicraft industries, such as textiles, dyeing cloth, paper making, food oil and other industries.

He doesn't need to create these ready-made industries, he just needs to attract businessmen to move their industries elsewhere to Qingzhou.

As for the technological improvement of the industry, it is another matter.

"Li Kaiyuan, county count." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Li Kaiyuan had been fidgeting when he was awarded the award just now. After all, merchants suffered long-term discrimination and felt inferior. Li Kaiyuan was a little worried that he could not get the title.

When Xiao Ming said the title, Li Kaiyuan was relaxed. He stood up, his lips trembled, and he looked like he was about to cry, "Thank you for your kindness, the government is not unforgettable."

Xiao Ming laughed. When he asked Li Kaiyuan to take over the Chamber of Commerce, he had promised to treat him equally, which was also a return.

Finally, he looked at the two most special people in this meeting, one was Ding Wu and the other was Dai Zixing.

Calling these two men to him was carefully measured.

Both of these were foreign merchants, both of whom joined Qingzhou's household registration later, and they had a lot of money to support the Northern Expedition.

Especially Ding Wu, Li San has already investigated him and is Ding Wanquan's son.

Now he has knighted the two, which will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of merchants.

"Ding Wu, County Baron, Dai Zixing, County Baron."

Xiao Ming looked at the two and said slowly.

Ding Wu and Dai Zixing were uncomfortable since they entered the Dudu Mansion. They were all officials and generals under the command of King Qi, and they were all respected.

They are nothing in front of these people. ’

But even though they were a little nervous, they were equally nervous in their hearts, and they also held hope for the title.

"His Royal Highness Long En." Ding Wu and Dai Zixing stared at each other and stood up, "I will do my best to be loyal to your Highness and make greater contributions to Qingzhou."

Xiao Ming nodded and let the two sit down, "It is natural for the king to choose you two in the merchant's opinion. You are the example of the merchants. In the future, the two Qingzhou merchants will have to work harder."

Ding Wu and Dai Zixing nodded at the same time, their faces flushed with excitement.

He glanced at the award booklet again, now that the title award is over, Xiao Ming asked the students and merchants to leave first.

The next thing he wants to talk about is government affairs.

"Now that this reward is over, let's talk about the fiefdom. This Shilang Feng has already arrived in Qingzhou, and the king will go to Chang'an in a few days. During this period, you have to keep an eye on the fiefdom."

Pang Yukun nodded and said, "His Royal Highness is going to Chang'an. The big wedding is the business. If His Highness can give birth to an heir sooner, Liuzhou will be more stable."

Hearing that Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, this Pang Yukun was full of the imperial court style, and the princess was discussing heirs before the princess. This is the same as the minister asking the emperor to have a son.

If he died suddenly that day, these guys wouldn't have become headless birds.

Although he was very helpless and wanted to smoke Pang Yukun, Xiao Ming understood that this was the helplessness of the feudal dynasty. After all, these people were chasing themselves with their wealth and lives~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but he did not eat Pang Yukun's. One set, but said: "Pang Changshi, this king is going to Chang'an. You have to handle this Youzhou and the victims properly. In conjunction with the army conscription, there are still some young and strong people who are unwilling to farm. , Joining the army is their ideal."

"Yes, Your Highness." Pang Yukun nodded.

Then Xiao Ming said: "Also, it is estimated that the potatoes will be harvested when the king comes back. During this time you have to stare at the slave plantation."

Pang Yukun nodded again.

Xiao Ming looked at Niu Ben again and said: "Dudu Niu, you are very concerned about the formation of the Youzhou Army. Now Youzhou is in our hands, and our number of military areas should also be expanded. After all, the current army is already stretched. The army expansion must start now."

"Yes." Niu Ben nodded.

Then Xiao Ming said: "Also, the firearms have been installed in the army, from now on you will focus on building the firearms army."
